Sweden Tours in Winter

My wife and I travel a lot. This trip rates among the top three travel experiences we have had. It was physically demanding to wear all the clothes needed to handle the frigid weather, but well worth the effort. The activities were well planned and exciting. The icing is the Northern lights experience. We saw them briefly on three evenings. Then on our last night the sky exploded with an unforgettable show that lasted for hours.

First of all it was called Scandinavia NORTHERN LIGHTS tour, and our first optional extra was the Aurora lights sighting, the trouble was we stopped on a main highway with constant traffic, impossible to see anything and it cost $209.00 for both my husband and myself. Also another issue was that we had meat balls for dinner nearly 3 nights in a row. We have traveled with Trafalgar many times, this was a really fantastic trip. Our tour director Veronica Stef was brilliant, couldn’t fault her and we had an amazing group of people on our trip. We had fantastic weather throughout our trip, just need to remember that it was a Northern Lights tour and we had to pay for the Optional Experience, and a main road is not the right place to try and view the lights. Felt ripped off! The accommodation throughout our tour was fantastic, and a big thank you to our driver Damion….just brilliant.

It was a once in a lifetime trip to be in the arctic, see reindeer in wild and experience outdoors adventures - and of course the experience of seeing the Northern Lights. We were lucky - the sky was clear! Make sure you prepare thought - very very cold!!!

A well organized Arctic adventure, featuring snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, a visit to an ice hotel, a reindeer farm and an Arctic zoo. It was great to learn about the Sami people, church towns as well as the history and features of Finland and Sweden.

The week is a mixture of activities, snowshoeing, dog sledding, reindeer’s and forest skiing through the amazing arctic wilderness. You stay in a chalet and eat and have talks in a main building. The hosts are all amazing as is the food.

Top 5 in my Bucket List is visiting the Scandinavian Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland). I have always been intrigued by these countries due to my fascination with the Vikings history! And surely this tour did not disappoint at all! Enjoyed every moment and surely one of the best tours I have had!
